Summary
One person died at the scene and a second was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries after a shooting around 9:10 p.m. Sunday at San Pedro Square in San Jose.
Police said no World Cup match was being shown when gunfire erupted at the entertainment district, which has been used as a tournament fan zone and is now being investigated as a homicide.
Reuters saw a heavy police presence, closed-off streets and bars shutting down, while a security guard described the wounded victim as bleeding from the neck and upper back.
San Pedro Square is one of several Bay Area watch-party sites tied to the World Cup, with the region having hosted five matches so far and another knockout game scheduled Wednesday between Bosnia and the United States.
